All Booked Up started out as a book review blog. Now its a more general one. Posts on whatever calls my interest. There will, however still be some book reviews.

Margaret Gwynne's Fruit Cobbler

I'm posting this recipe in honor of my great aunt whose life we just celebrated. She lived a good, long life to the age of 95 years.

Margaret Gwynne's Fruit Pudding/Cake

This was a very frequent star at the dinner table when I grew up. It's very simple to make, and flexible, based on the fruit you have around, although I've never tried making it with berries. In my family it was always apples, plums or apricots, though I've started making it with peaches and that works out wonderfully too.

This was always
cooked in a smaller oven-proof dish. If my memory serves, it was
usually about a 6x8 inch rectangle or similar dimensions oval
oven-proof pan.

Ingredients
(topping):

2 tbsp butter or
margarine

½ cup sugar

1 egg

1/3 cup milk

¾ cup flour

½ tsp vanilla

½ tsp baking
powder

¼ tsp baking soda

Preheat the oven to
350 degrees.

Combine all the
ingredients in a bowl and beat well, then pour into the oven-proof
dish over a layer of plums, apples, peaches or apricots or any
combination of the four fruits.
